MCCONNELL SUGGESTS TRUMP LIED, CLAIMS HE NEVER SPOKE TO PRESIDENT ABOUT UKRAINE CALL
Newsweek ^ | Oct 22 2019 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 10/22/2019 1:54:29 PM PDT by rintintin

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested on Tuesday that President Donald Trump had lied about a conversation between them regarding the president's controversial call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Nancy Cordes, the chief congressional correspondent for CBS News, reported on Tuesday that she had pressed McConnell over Trump's assertion that the Republican from Kentucky had told him that his call with Ukraine's president was "perfect" and "innocent." McConnell responded to Cordes by claiming he had never spoken with Trump about the call.

When the journalist asked McConnell if that meant Trump had lied, the Republican lawmaker responded: "You'd have to ask him."

One of the main tactics of trolls is that of trying to divide members of an opposition against one another, and Newsweek—like other political publications—has been known for such trolling.

But you forget

Many Freepers will go to any source in an anti Mitch presstitute storm

The truth doesn’t matter...... it’s the seriousness of the antiMitch Fake News that matters

"The Uniparty would like nothing better than to be rid of Trump and get back to business as usual, selling out the citizens and importing cheap labor."

Patriots need to make sure that the Uniparty understands that there will be no returning to business as usual. If Trump goes down, then elections mean nothing and it is time for a nationwide reset.

You might want to check the origins of this fine piece of journalism, Newsweak. Odds are about 95-1 that this is fake news BS. Good rule of thumb is to discount everything the stooges in the MSM are spewing.

“I don’t trust Newsweek and will read from other sources first.”

Agree. Will leave it at that.

This story is being reported by many outlets, not just Newsweek. And Mitch is quoted. It’s not just reporters writing their own thoughts

We’ve been had again. I don’t see how the dems don’t run the table in 2020.

Why would they need to run the table in 2020? They already have the House, Senate and White House.

At least that's what I've been told many times here on FR by nitwits who:

1. Claimed the 2016 election was rigged so Trump couldn't win.
2. Claimed that even after he won, the Jill Stein recounts would change the results in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
3. Insisted (when that didn't happen) that a bunch of Trump votes in the Electoral College would flip to Hillary Clinton.
4. Said (when that didn't happen) that Trump would be arrested and hauled off to jail before he was inaugurated.
5. Predicted (after he was inaugurated) that he'd be impeached and removed from office by the end of 2017.
6. Insisted (after that didn't happen) that he'd be impeached and removed from office by the end of 2018.
7. Insisted (after that didn't happen) that he'd be indicted by Mueller's team of prosecutors.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone is even talking about this mythical figure named "President Trump" anymore ... because he can't possibly exist.

Geez, you REALLY love to post bad news don’t you? In fact you do it so often I believe you can rightfully be called a troll.

Any Random Freeper (Day 1): "Newsweek (or NBC, or CNN, or the New York Times, etc.) is fake news!"

Any Random Freeper (Day 2): "HOLY SH!T ... It's all over for Trump, folks! Check out this Newsweek (or NBC, or CNN, or the New York Times, etc.) report!"

Here is the first signal. Mitch is going along with the removal. It looks very bad now I think the bastards are really going to do it.

....

You sound very concerned!

If there was a conversation...I bet trump has a copy....stand by for release/leak of the transcript.....recall the Mr. Miller tape that Trump had filed away for 25 years.
